Robotwars Series 4 Heat N Part 2

[DanielLuck7]

I'm yet to see a walker that looks as if it can threaten to challenge the top seeds.

[karl100589]

@DanielLuck7 Check out Anarchy in series 6, it took Tornado to a close judges decision in the heat final of S6.

Also if it counts check out Son Of Whyachi from Battlebots.

@karl100589 Thanks for the heads up I shall take a look, just making my way though series 5 at the moments, cheers!

0:35 you can see SMIDSY in the background.

[Gavin17259]

@pepegauley2 and Panic Attack

[cjrondo888]

Has a walker bot ever made it past the first round?

[Revolutionist88]

@cjrondo888 Anarchy got to the heat final in series 6 and Clawed Hopper got past the first round in series 5

[acenace24]

what is the weight limit?

[youngtreythetruth]

@acenace24 Well, in Series 3&4, it was about 80kg (some were slightly more), but walkers can be double weight, from series 5 onward the weight limit was 100kg (200kg for walkers)

It looked like Firestorm's left wheel was jammed for a lot of that.

[SW3Ishida]

Firestorm wasn't too good in this series. It's not surprising they didn't do too well in the pinball.

[markus1yre]

X terminators axe was the weakest I've ever seen!! Ohh I forgot napalm...

[hiddenbutdeadly]

@markus1yre

how about killertron?

but when x-terminator hd the spinning disc in later series it was DESTRUCTIVE!!!!

[zoziosawakening]

@hiddenbutdeadly Killertron, really? imo they had about the only axe/pick weapon in the entire first three series which was any good. Let's be honest, axes just aren't very good weapons in general.

[hiddenbutdeadly]

@zoziosawakening

they ARE good weapon but the axe needs to be razor (no pun intended) sharp and tough to peirce the armour

good examples are mortis and dominater

[zoziosawakening]

@hiddenbutdeadly Dominator 2 I'll give you, although I disagree with Mortis. Its axe never seemed to live up to expectations imo. The thing about axes is they're great for doing superficial damage, but don't really do much to immobilise the opponent most of the time. However the one thing axes are great for is stopping horizontal spinners.

[shellysabin123]

@zoziosawakening oh and what about Shunt series 3-5 and us bots FrenZy and Tut Tut

[zoziosawakening]

@shellysabin123 As a house robot Shunt gets to break the robot construction rules, though. Plus... I'm not sure Shunt would actually be tier one as a full-time competitor. Too easily flipped, innards too open and exposed. Frenzy's axe was well designed, retaining enough power over its length to hit components at the bottom of the machine, but I still wouldn't call it an all time classic weapon or anything. Not familiar with Tut Tut, sorry.

BTW... your username... MCMG fan by any chance? :D

[shellysabin123]

@zoziosawakening yes yes i am

[zoziosawakening]

@shellysabin123 Sweet. Good taste.

[willmott2k10]

0:33 well done einstein for stating that walkers can be twice as heavy lol =P being serious though couldn't x-terminator get a better axe than that? the one from series 3 was better than that

[A9132robotwars]

@willmott2k10 I think it had the same power behind it. It's just that armourment was a bit better this series.

[willmott2k10]

@A9132robotwars very true, will admit that didn't occur to me when i wrote that comment, the axe wasn't all that powerful nevertheless though. the spixed axe in series 3 was good however, it could grip machines and sometimes lift them, should've done the same here instead of making the axe more bladed

[kartkidchun]

CO2 powered axe? Sounds powerful and unusual. Not many axes powered by CO2 I don't think.

[Natendowii]

@ 0:50 *Facepalm*

[StFidjnr]

@Natendowii he is thinking oh no he'll jinx us for sure
